Brown’s Climbing and Rambler Roses 
The Rambler or cluster type Roses are entirely hardy and need no winter pro¬ 
tection. We mark such varieties (R) below. Those that are hardy climbers with a 
similarity of the hybrid or perpetual type, we mark (C). For the trellis, porch or 
arbor, the Climbing Roses produce a most wonderful covering of delicate foliage 
and delightful flowers. They are hardy and require little winter protection. 
American Pillar. (C.). The large, 
single flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, 
are of a lovely shade of pink with a 
white eye and clusters of yellow sta¬ 
mens. The blooms are borne in im¬ 
mense bunches and a large plant in 
full bloom is a beautiful sight. 
Climbing American Beauty. (C.). 
This is a leader in Climbing Roses. 
Strong, vigorous grower with large 
h pink, freely produced and nationally 
fine, intense crimson, the blooms small 
like all the Rambler class, double and 
borne in large clusters. Bright green, 
glossy foliage which does not mil¬ 
dew. 
Flower of Fairfield. (R.). Often called 
“Everblooming Crimson Rambler.” In 
color and cluster effect like Crimson 
Rambler, though not so strong a grower. 
A continuous bloomer through the sum¬ 
mer, bearing large clusters of crimson 
blooms. 
Climbing 
type. 
Crimson Rambler. (R.). Hardy, famous everywhere ; 
most effective when grown on pillars or trellises. Foli¬ 
age large and glossy; vigorous grower; panicles of 
bloom large and perfect for weeks. 
Gardenia. ( R. ). The buds of this climber are a rich 
yellow opening to double, rich cream colored, beautiful 
flowers. Vigorous growth and hardiness make this one 
of the outstanding climbers. This has long been the 
favorite yellow climber. 
Blaze (Everblooming Paul’s Scarlet Climber). (C.). 
Plant Patent No. 10. A marvelous, hardy everblooming 
scarlet-red Rose, combining the bloom and growth of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber with the everblooming charac¬ 
teristics of Teplitz. Very vigorous. Seldom out of bloom, 
and covered with bloom from top to bottom. Can be 
pruned very low for bedding, medium for shrub use, or 
trained as a climber. 
Dorothy Perkins. (R.). Clear shell-pink and slightly 
fragrant flowers, borne in great profusion and lasting 
for a long time. They are double and the petals 
crinkled, which gives them a delightfully fluffy appear¬ 
ance. One of America’s notable Climbing Roses. The 
plant makes a very strong growth. Flowers come in 
great loose clusters. 
Excelsa. (R.). Called the red “Dorothy Perkins,” being 
like that well known variety, a Wichuraiana Hybrid of 
great hardiness and vigorous growth. The color is a 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin or Spanish Beauty. (R. 
C.). This new variety is destined to be one of the 
greatest climbers ever introduced. The delicate, fra¬ 
grant, pink flowers are of astounding size and are 
borne on long stems. A magnificent Rose. 
Hiawatha. (R.) Very hardy and vigorous climber, bear¬ 
ing in large clusters small single flowers of dazzling 
red with white eye. Free bloomer. 
Mary Wallace. (C.). One of the famous Dr. Van Fleet 
Roses. It is a real pink, which we have needed in a 
climbing Rose. Double flowers which are fragrant. Fine 
foliage and a very strong grower. We consider this one 
of Dr. Van Fleet’s best introductions. 
Paul’s Scarlet. (C.). A new hardy Rose of the most 
vivid bright red in any climbing Rose. In the sunlight 
it is a real scarlet. Blooms in clusters of half-double 
flowers. The blooms are conspicuous both for size and 
brilliance. With hardiness considered among its con¬ 
spicuous good points, we recommend Paul’s Scarlet as 
the best red climbing Rose and one that should be in 
every garden. 
A Rose arbor in June. Why do toe spend lavishly for life’s fleeting pleasures when we might, at small expense, 
have such permanent pleasures as these in our gardens.
